Elena was an excellent guide and we really appreciated all the knowledge that they had to offer! Bike ride was very well paced and the views were incredible! Tour was around 2.5 hours, but at no point did we feel rushed and Elena was very patient with us Thank you all :)

Fun Bike Ride with Deborah

Published on Sep, 2024

Wonderful cycling tour of the city of Palermo with our guide Deborah. She provided us with a lot of information about the history (including the Mafia) and buildings of the city. She had good English and was a lot of fun. I would highly recommend because it is a great way to enjoy your stay in Palermo

Pleasant and informative bike trip in Palermo

Published on May, 2024

Our guide, Paulo, is also a middle school teacher and had a treasure trove of information on the city of Palermo - history and architecture. The starting point was easy to find. The terrain was manageable by all. The shop seems to have a place to store luggage during the tour. One bicycle broke down, but the shop responded quickly. We waited about 10 minutes in the flower market where it was heartening to see a couple of local men with with tools were willing to help. Even with all the unexpected excitement, we still returned on time.
